Event Description

Waiora by Hone Kouka
Waiora is a captivating play surrounding a Maori family who migrated from the North Island’s east cape to the South Island. The family forges new identities as they strive for success in their new home, but their origins and cultural background cannot be easily forgotten. This critically acclaimed play explores what it means to be home and to belong. Waiora was originally commissioned by the 1996 Wellington International Festival of the Arts and was performed to sold out audiences.

Tickets for the performances are $17.00 for adults, $12 for students and seniors, and $14 for Illinois State faculty and staff. Tickets can be purchased at the College of Fine Arts Box Office, located in the Center for the Performing Arts, from 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, or by calling (309) 438-2535. Tickets are also available through ticketmaster.com. Free parking is available in the School Street Parking deck for all performances.
